I can't remove a spyware. Help !!!

I had inadventently install a bogus file that is a spyware and it randomly open an IE site with ads. I had already ran spybot and ad-aware again and again but it is comes back. I tried to look for an uninstall but none. What else can I use to remove this? I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. Thanks.

Look for odd-looking processes running in the task manager. Usually spyware programs have telltale names, and when you end them, they keep coming back. You can reboot Windows in safe mode to delete them.

It prolly came through as a Java applet or something like it. One of my daughter's computers had a problem such as this. In your AdAware when it finishes it should show loctions of the spyware files. I found them as a zip file with like 20 files within the zip. took five runs of AdAware to kill them all. It just kept duplicting itself. Look in your Firefox profile directory. There should be a folder that has to do with Java or is named Java. Or in the Firefox directory. (I don't frickin remember ) Look in there, there could be some zip files in it that should not be there. I wish I remembered what they looked like or the names of them.

this was an EXE file that i downloaded and run. it had a different name so i thought it was the file that I was really looking for. as soon as the IE pops up then I will take a screen shot and post it. thanks.

search for it in windows, once you've found it restart your computer go in to ms dos mode, locate the file and delete, this way it shouldn't be able to replicate itself, i've had to do this a few times, with some persistant spyware.
